Tell me what does it take to make Take to make me a man You've been speaking to tired gods I've been conferring with cats They told me when to look to the sky Where to stand on that road Where they led me in secrecy Tracking signals of gold (You will wave goodbye to someone) You will wave goodbye to someone you forgot (Goodbye to someone) And I'll say, "hello, hello astronaut" Now and then you look to that sky From that spot on the road Wondering at the elusive light I'll be harvesting gold I'll be harvesting gold I'll be harvesting… ('Til you wave goodbye to someone) You will wave goodbye to someone you forgot (Goodbye to someone) And I'll say, "hello, hello, hello" ('Til you wave goodbye to someone) You will wave goodbye to someone you forgot (Goodbye to someone) And I'll say, "hello, hello astronaut" I've lost my way on this road Yet found a perfect way for me to go And to the love who lost me not I will wave goodbye as I say, "hello, hello, astronaut" (Goodbye to someone) You will wave goodbye to someone you forgot (Goodbye to someone) And I'll say, "hello, hello" (You will wave goodbye) (Goodbye to someone) And I'll say, "hello, hello astronaut"
